New ThinkPad X1 family: Still the ultimate sexy workhorse

The new ThinkPad X1 family is headlined by none other than the 2017 ThinkPad X1 Carbon. If good looks, performance and technical superiority are your thing, then the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the perfect choice.

Available in classic ThinkPad Black and now a new Silver colour, it’s the lightest 14-inch business notebook. It weighs just 1.2kg and packs a 14-inch IPS display (up to 2K resolution) that fits into a 13-inch form factor.

It keeps you working for up to 15 hours (remember to take breaks every 30 minutes), and connectivity options will keep you ‘always on.’ About that… there’s Thunderbolt 3 ports, LTE-A Wireless WAN and WiFi Certified WiGig options.

A ThinkPad being a ThinkPad is built around security. There’s a fingerprint sensor with a dedicated chip to handle biometric processing. It works hand in hand with Windows Hello to enable safe, secure facial authentication.

Under the hood, it packs 7th Generation Intel Core (“Kaby Lake”) i7 processors (up to Intel Core vPro i7-7600U). This is mated to up to 16GB of 1866MHz LPDDR3 RAM and 1TB of PCIe storage.

For those looking for flexibility, the updated ThinkPad X1 Yoga is now available in a new metallic silver. The 14-inch versatile notebook features an OLED screen that gives you stunning colours and super blacks.

Next up, the ThinkPad X1 Tablet, also Intel Kaby Lake-powered (“Y Series”). It is lightweight, flexible and offers up to hours of additional battery life and an integrated projector option.

Miix 720: Mix with the best, die like the rest

The Microsoft Surface Pro may just have met its match. The Miix 720 detachable Windows notebook is chic, portable and powerful.

It boasts a crisp 12-inch QHD+ display, and a precision touchpad-enabled keyboard. Under the hood, it is powered by a 7th Generation Intel Core i7 and features Thunderbolt 3.

The Miix 720 can be extended to use the Lenovo Active Pen 2 for notes and digital illustration.

An integrated infrared camera is the perfect match for Windows Hello. And the unique tablet kickstand gives you adaptability in terms of viewing angle.
